Decide your Dream Job
There's no Limit to What you Can do
The first step in every business is deciding what you want to do. We only live once, so it's important to decide your dream job - literally the thing that would make you happiest to be doing. Don't settle for second-best - set your goals high, and even though it may take a while to achieve, striving for your dream job will probably be the most satisfying thing you do in life.
Sometimes it's difficult to decide what your dream job is - there are so many different paths in life to choose! A good way to start is to take a pen and paper, and start listing all your skills and talents. Don't just think about your work skills - also think about which hobbies you like / are good at etc, and most importantly, what are your passions?
It's important to be objective, because we often don't acknowledge our own skills. We just assume that if we can do it, then everyone can - however, this is not true. Ask your family or friends what they think your skills are - you might be pleasantly surprised.
By the end of this exercise, you should have a list of all the things you'd love to spend your life doing, and none of the things you don't enjoy. Now you just need to figure out which ones you'll choose to turn into a business, or even better, figure out how you can combine all of them into a single, grand business idea!
So take a look at your list, and ask yourself:
Is there anything else you'd like to add to the list? Don't be shy - this is your dream job we're trying to establish - write down anything at all you enjoy doing, think you're good at, or would like to do more!
Which of the list items do you find most enjoyable / would you like to focus on?
